A very brief review of a good book I jest finished, The Art and Business of Champagne, by Dan Ginsberg. Ginsberg was the only American ever to head up a Champagne house, and as a businessman in his own right, wrote a unique and excellent text on the wine. It was opinionated and passionate and well written. The descriptions of each village were excellent to the serious student of wine, but I doubt anyone needed vintage reports going back to the early 1900s.
My name is Nick Stengel and I am coming to the end of the beginning in my quest to become a Master of Wine. This journey will take years, and I hope to recount my tasting notes, ruminations on statistics and economics, travelogs, book reports, and pictures along the way. Enjoy and please comment often!
